The ransomware has hit various IT systems in more than 150 countries, including Russian Federation and the United Kingdom, in one of the most widespread cyber attacks in history.

Europol Director Rob Wainwright told the BBC that businesses should ensure that their systems are updated with the latest security patches in order to mitigate chances of further infection and to slow the spread of the ransomware. The NHS has said hospitals have had to cancel some outpatient appointments because of the attack.

Telefónica: Spanish authorities confirmed the Spanish telecom company Telefónica was one of the targets, though the attack affected only some computers and did not compromise the security of clients' information.

"In the meantime, the college has provided our members with guidance and resources to support them through this challenging time and we will continue to monitor the situation and reassure patients that Global Positioning System and their teams are doing all they can to provide safe care".

All it would take is for a new group to change the original malware code slightly to remove the "kill switch" and send it off into the world, using the same email-based methods to infiltrate computer systems that the original attackers used, experts said.
